Subject: [PATCH 07/10] ext4: serialize unlocked dio reads with truncate
Date: Mon, 24 Sep 2012 15:44:17 +0400	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1348487060-19598-8-git-send-email-dmonakhov@openvz.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1348487060-19598-1-git-send-email-dmonakhov@openvz.org>

Current serialization will works only for DIO which holds
i_mutex, but nonlocked DIO following race is possible:

dio_nolock_read_task            truncate_task
				->ext4_setattr()
				 ->inode_dio_wait()
->ext4_ext_direct_IO
  ->ext4_ind_direct_IO
    ->__blockdev_direct_IO
      ->ext4_get_block
				 ->truncate_setsize()
				 ->ext4_truncate()
				 #alloc truncated blocks
				 #to other inode
      ->submit_io()
     #INFORMATION LEAK

In order to serialize with unlocked DIO reads we have to
rearrange wait sequence
1) update i_size first
2) if i_size about to be reduced wait for outstanding DIO requests
3) and only after that truncate inode blocks
